[Tyr1] Somatostatin Peptide

[Tyr1] Somatostatin Peptide is a 14-aa peptide that corresponds to aa 103-116 of somatostatin precursor before cleavage with a Tyr instead of Ala at position 1. Somatostatin is an endogenous neuropeptide hormone found in the brain and pancreas that inhibits the release of somatotropin. Somatostatin binds several isoforms of the somatostatin receptor, exhibiting anxiolytic, antiepileptic/anticonvulsant, and anorexigenic activities.
